SynopsisMore than 50 million Americans now access the Internet, and its continued unchecked growth stirs debate. The authors in this anthology argue that the Internet can be a valuable tool or a perilous place. It can foster connections with others or promote hate groups. It can open new business opportunities or advance criminal behavior. It can provide both unlimited student research opportunities and unlimited opportunity for those who prey upon children. This volume presents the benefits, effects and repercussions of Internet use in the classroom, in politics, in business, in medicine and in social situations., Greenhaven Press's At Issue series includes a wide range of opinions on a single controversial issue. Each volume includes both primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives-eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others. Extensive bibliographies and annotated lists of relevant organizations to contact offer a gateway to further research. Each inexpensive volume enhances critical thinking skills and is an excellent research tool for reports. Book jacket.
